The moon hung in the west with Venus on the other side. The morning's silhouette appeared halfway up the hill.
This was the second time Meng Qi met with Ananda face to face. But last time at the fight of Spirited Mountain, he saw Devil Buddha Ananda who wore golden dark cassock with one bare shoulder. And now he was faced with Ananda from the beginning, one of the most outstanding disciples of Gautama Buddha and the God of Thunder in the past.
What a shame, even this could not be counted as face to face as it was only a stamp. However, if Gautama Buddha did not suppress it, he still could only see virtual shadow from the past. The shadow might turn to Devil Buddha anytime and Meng Qi might not be able to see pure Ananda anymore. Even if he went back to the past or future, it would still stay the same.
